The Lar Lubovitch Dance Company was created in 1968 to realize the artistic vision of Lar Lubovitch, one of this country's foremost choreographers. Over the past 49 years, the company has gained a reputation as one of the world's top-ranked modern dance companies, performing in virtually every state of the US, as well more than 40 other countries. Lar Lubovitch has been cited by The New York Times as "one of the ten best choreographers in the world," and the company has been called a "national treasure" by Variety.

The company exists: (1) to create new works by Lubovitch; (2) to perform those works, in our home base of New York City and around the world and to facilitate performance of those works by others; and (3) to teach – giving people of all ages, ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds an increased awareness and appreciation of dance and enriching their lives. In carrying out these three main objectives, we are also committed to collaboration and to service to the dance community as central components of LLDC's mission. Diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity are core values of the company.
